  • Simplifies balancer use
  • Eliminates shortcuts that affect quality
  • Automatically performs a better overall balance
   

Hunter Engineering’s patented SmartWeight® balancing technology is a revolutionary wheel balancing method that minimizes correction weight usage and maximizes productivity, saving money on both material and labor costs. SmartWeight balancing technology can reduce wheel weight costs 30 to 40%, reduce the time it takes to balance most wheels, and improve vehicle ride quality.

This new method computes correction weights by independently evaluating static (shake) and couple (shimmy) forces that cause dynamic vibration. Unlike traditional balancing, which displays balance conditions based on correction weight values alone, SmartWeight balancing uses the actual static and couple forces to directly address the source of vibration, resulting in the best possible balance.

SmartWeight TechnologySmartWeight® balancing software displays and stores wheel weight savings for each balance cycle and tracks wheel weight savings over time.

This example shows that for 2,438 wheels SmartWeight technology saved a total of 1,939.5 ounces (32%) of weight. Labor time was also reduced, because 53% of the wheels were dynamically balanced with only one weight required.

Save Labor Time on More Than 30% of Balances!

SmartWeight technology typically reduces “floor-to-floor” cycle time on more than 30% of wheels balanced by using a single wheel weight to achieve the best possible static and couple balance.

Features That Make Expert Balancing Easier and Faster

The patented HammerHead™ TDC weight placement laser is a new option for GSP wheel balancers that speeds clipweight balancing service. Activated by the ServoDrive™ system, the HammerHead weight-placement laser lines are projected onto the top-dead-center of the rim flange when the wheel weight position is automatically located.

The HammerHead TDC laser increases balance accuracy, productivity and shop profitability and ensures weight attachment accuracy, resulting in more single-spin balances and superior ride satisfaction. An added fluorescent light illuminates the operator’s work area.

Angle errors from even slight misjudgment of the TDC location lead to an inferior and time consuming balance with excessive checkspins.
